“The Senate should not become an institution that protects the corrupt and murderers."
“The essence of being a fugitive from justice lies in the deliberate act of placing oneself beyond the reach of law enforcement."
“First, they turned the Senate into a safe house for Bato, and then they conspired to allow him to escape instead of surrendering the suspect to law enforcement agencies."
“Even if the Philippines is no longer a state party to the ICC, the Philippine government owns the continuing obligation to cooperate in any investigation conducted by the ICC since it is the essence of Article 27 that survives even after the withdrawal."
The leadership change in the Senate is linked to the upcoming impeachment trial of Duterte.
Despite repeated communication for Duterte to directly respond to these allegations, she did not attend the hearings.
“It further cites that the same provision also makes it unlawful for candidates to receive contributions from such prohibited sources, naming President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte as recipients of the contributions reflected in official campaign finance disclosures."
“The pursuit of truth, accountability, and justice should not stop with Co. His co-perpetrators in Congress and Malacañang should also be investigated and prosecuted."
Without government intervention, public utility drivers will continue to bear the brunt of rising fuel prices as their daily earnings steadily decline.
“Any enabling law that falls short of outright prohibition is not reform—it is a mockery of the Constitution, and we refuse to be party to it."
“That is the effect of the constant changing of the SC's decision just to junk the impeachment.”
“Lives lost could no longer be returned, and the trauma we are suffering due to the gross and repeated negligence of Aleson will haunt us for life."
“These are fabricated charges designed to intimidate us and to undermine the people's quest for truth and accountability.”
Political dynasties in our government monopolize state power. They concentrate power and prioritize self-preservation and control, not the basic social services that students should be receiving.
“Here in Tacloban, the same family, Marcos Jr.’s relatives–the Romualdezes–have ruled the city for decades yet there is still no progress that can be seen.”
While the Filipinos are drowning in an economic crisis, the corrupt big fish can swim freely in the public funds.
The family of Zamboanga City Mayor Khymer Adan Olaso’s wife reportedly owns Aleson Shipping Lines.
The impeachment complaint alleges three acts of betrayal of public trust, namely: the President’s institutionalization of systemic corruption, abuse of discretionary power over unprogrammed appropriations, and direct personal involvement in budgetary insertions and kickback schemes.
The demand for accountability and justice continues as the Marcos Jr administration has not yet prosecuted the so-called big fish behind the controversial flood control scandal.
The Presidential Communications Office claims that the scandal is nearing its ‘endgame’. However, Bulatlat’s timeline of related activities suggest that the investigation has yet to reach its climax, much less a resolution.
